"This Dream" lyrics

"This Dream"

This dream is not for everyone
This dream is not for you
The songs we sing for freedom
This star will lead you home
Our story written down in blood
Our voices cry the melody
This dream is not for everyone
This dream is not for you

My story is yours
And it's not so pretty
The sins of all our fathers
This is our history

Born in this world without a choice
Born in this flesh and blood
A stranger far away from home
Born with a curse upon your head
Is there a chance for us
Is there a place to rest my head
A place that I can call my own
Somewhere I'm not so different

This world is bigger than you know
Don't bury your head
My life is almost over
This life is just a flash of time
At least stop lying to yourself
On every other Sunday
Cant you see your heaven is my hell
You may be forced to one day

This dream is not for everyone
This dream is not for you
The songs we sing for freedom
This star will lead you home
Our story written down in blood
Our voices cry the melody
This dream is not for everyone
This dream is not for you

And if you can't love me
I'll die a thousand deaths
You treat me less than human
So I will give you what you want

Do we not bleed all the same blood
Do we not cry the same
Are we not more alike than not
In all the passion that we bring
I place a curse on you
I will not sing this song in vain
The violence that you offer me
Will just increase your suffering

This world is bigger than you know
Don't bury your head
My life is almost over
This life is just a flash of time
At least stop lying to yourself
On every other Sunday
Cant you see your heaven is my hell
You may be forced to one day

This dream is not for everyone
This dream is not for you
The songs we sing for freedom
This star will lead you home
Our story written down in blood
Our voices cry the melody
This dream is not for everyone
This dream is not for you

This dream is not for you
This dream is not for you

This is a tale of suffering
A story of triumph
This is the only story
Still it must be heard
